Sadly it did.

I bought my phone in june and i used it without facing any problems. I did not root it or did anything to it. Last night, while watching Tv, it turned off by itself. Now i cant boot it, it is stuck in Booting screen where galaxy s3 is written...

Why did this happen does anyone know? I sent it for repair, but because i bought it from another country ( korea ), they said they cant help me...

Any help would be fantastic!!
 
Well i can boot into recovery but there arent any option i can choose. It just boots into recovery mode and stays there. And btw, its in Korean, so i dont understand whats written there.
 
Can you boot into download mode (volume down, power and home)? I assume that will be in Korean as well so when you see the first download screen press volume up to continue into download mode. If you can you should be able to get your phone up and running by flashing some sock firmware. If you could let me know if you have the i9300 or i9305 I'll be able to point you in the direction of some firmware.

Yes i can boot into recovery mode, i pressed volume up and i ended up in a screen which there is a picture of android robot, information about my phone( like model number, if its running on stock or custom firmware etc.) but there, i couldnt do anything more, partly because everything was in korean and also there wasnt anything to choose in there. It was just a static screen.

Btw, my phone's model number is "shw m440s"

Thanks a lot:)
